Hopefully they can sign him. Probably gonna take all of their remaining pool.

"If you think there’s a third weapon in there somewhere, he would be a second-rounder; if not, he’s in the big bucket of good college pitchers who project as relievers and fit in rounds 3-5." The future closer at 7. Once again, Law’s rankings were early and he never updated his ranking closer to the draft like the other major analysts (who all had Horton 12-24) but if you look at the recent 1.7 history, you’ll see a successful closer would be a pretty good outcome: https://www.baseball-reference.com/draft/?overall_pick=7&draft_type=junreg&query_type=overall_pick&from_type_jc=0&from_type_hs=0&from_type_4y=0&from_type_unk=0

11th rounder: LHP Branden Noriega, MLB listed him with no school but Baseball Reference says he played at Miami Dade. Maybe a draft and follow?

Minor League Musings

Hope the Palencia injury isn’t too severe. -
Can’t imagine they have more than $250-$350k (the first $125k doesn’t count to the pool). You’re looking for preps who aren’t as interested in college as suspected - like Dominic Hambley, Esequiel Pagán and Porter Hodge.

He didn’t update his draft board since May 5th, a full month before regionals.

I pretty much have the same breakdown for next season, though not sure Clarke gets to AAA to start the season. Surely they’ll have a few veteran arms at AAA they’ll cycle through in the bigs and not fear losing to DFA. Derek Casey was ready for AA last year before injury. He should be back from TJS. Hoping Yovanny Cruz gets stretched out next year, even if it’s a 2-3 inning role like Luke Little. Maybe one of those live arms in the ACL (Michael Arias or Kenyi Pérez) is ready for MB next season.

-
he gonna pitch or hit? ....or both He seems to be universally considered a better pitcher. The Cubs might let him do both this summer and maybe even next year before forcing him into one, which is what the Cardinals did with Masyn Winn.
